You telling me a 'full' log can bring down a whole SQL Server/Windows site? What happened to automatic log rotation or any other kind of robustness?

[LordGrover]

I know it's the log file(s) full cos it says so ...

The last time this happened the TVRCC webmaster told me that the buffer was supposed to clear itself automatically but due to a bug somewhere it didn't and so had to be cleared manually.

I wasn't having a go at you.

It's just very :yawn: when the same problem keeps occuring.

I have one of them at home in the garage which i bought from Halfords. I find that polising by hand brings out a better shine though

No need to panic for access really, it's Pistonheads news, just a week later.

[grahamw48]

Yuk !

So why does the log have to be cleared manually....can't they just flush it through ?
No wonder they've got blinkin bugs in the cistern.

I actually saved my whole years membership on the RAC discount. So in that respect I guess my TVRCC membership was free too.

Website could and should be better IMO but criticism of the webmaster is strictly verboten so a moot point.

BTW I wasn't criticising the website specifically, just voicing my amazement that the platform can be brought down by something so trivial. I guess I'm used to the Unix / Linux / OSX world.
